Happy (Belated) Birthday to the one and only @noshirdalal!

I saw that @cryptidcr3ature had found some old and really cool karate photos of his, and I just couldn't resist using them as reference.

Hiyah!! Kotallo comes in with his tactical sandals and a mean high-and-flying side kick!

It's also Kotallo Week over in @kotaloyelysiumevents so this is kinda a two-in-one thing 😁

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST! REBLOG ONLY!

The awe-inspiring, towering Tallneck!

I never saw people say stuff like this enough when I was a teenager, so I’m saying it now.

I’m in my mid-thirties and I have never had sex. I’ve thought about it and could have had one or two opportunities if I put in more effort, but I always decided against it because I just wasn’t into it at the time.

I can safely say that I do not feel I have missed out on anything. I was perfectly capable, by myself, of learning about my own body and boundaries without anyone else there to muddy the waters. The immense pressure that was there in my teens/twenties to Have Sex Just Do It is basically gone. I’m vibing. I’ve got my routine by myself in bed that I enjoy, and that’s enough for me.

And in the unlikely event that I ever decide to have sex with someone in the future, I don’t feel at all like I’m lacking some essential Knowledge or Skill that would “make it good” for someone else. I fully expect to ask my partner out loud what they like and to receive an answer clearly communicated and to relax and have fun. And if it’s a disappointing experience, I’m fine with that too. It is what it is.

Sex is just not that big of a deal. I suspected it as a teen, and I’m more sure of it now. It’s fine to have it or not have it. It’s whatever.

some tidbits from the Bones reunion

I think there will be some videos released at some point because I saw people filming it properly, but I wrote some little moments down 😊

Per Eric Millegan, Brennan's character was originally called Marjorie Miles

TJ Thyne told a story about Betty White. Apparently they were filming a scene together and there’s a part of the set that’s kind of tight/others couldn’t see, so she went “ow!” and everyone looked at him (he said “they all turned on me” 😂) and he looked at her and she winked at him

David Boreanaz jumped in with a Betty White story. He got up and imitated her saying “hi, how are you” very softly to everyone as she made her way to their booth in the diner, then apparently she saw him and went “oh shit, I want to fuck you”

Tamara Taylor and TJ Thyne were the worst when it came to giggling especially late at night, so there are many scenes where they don’t make eye contact. They were filming on Chad Lowe’s birthday (director) and he wanted to wrap somewhat early and was getting frustrated, so first he yelled “stop laughing” (which made them laugh harder) and then apparently out of nowhere he just shouted “DEAD BABIES!” No context or anything, just kept shouting it, and they all lost it and now will say that to each other and immediately laugh

They had fart machines on set. Apparently it was remote controlled and had like 5 sounds? Prior to that they had whoopee cushions (it sounds like they would especially enjoy putting it on Michaela Conlin’s seat). Tamara Taylor said her mom gave them a fart machines at some point

When they were talking about why the show continues to resonate so many years later, Hart Hanson said he noticed that a lot of people with depression and anxiety really like the show and there was a knowing laughter that spread around the room 😂 And then he explained that people will say it got them through a hard time

When David Duchovny directed an episode, he asked to see Eric Millegan’s audition tape and was blown away by it. Hart Hanson said he wrote a two-page monologue for him to learn that was never used in the show, it was just for the audition

Lots of practical jokes on set. There was some sort of container that Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz hid in and jumped out of to scare Tamara Taylor, TJ Thyne, and Michaela Conlin

This one is a little silly, but they all sound so much like their characters! I know that seems obvious, but that's not always the case! At one point Emily Deschanel shouted "Gormogon!!" and it was like Brennan was there 😂

They all seemed to have so much fun together and everyone was really sweet. TJ Thyne came outside after to finish taking pictures with anyone who was waiting 🥹

"There's a whole world beyond your borders, whole tribes of people just as good as you, and it is all in danger. It's a world worth fighting for. Not just here. Everywhere." - Aloy, Horizon Zero Dawn

Personal post under the cut:

This piece not only represents my headcanons for Aloy based on my observations in Horizon playthroughs, but also my tentative relationship with my self-concept of sexuality.

Full disclosure, I don't celebrate Pride Month. Previously, it was due to religious reasons, which, if you were around during the late 2010s, didn't exactly fare well for me when I shared what I thought were immovable, concrete beliefs on the subject.

Fast forward to the mid 2020s, two fandoms later, new friends, new career, new learnings, new connections, etc, and those supposed "immoveable, concrete beliefs" have since changed into something much more amorphous, more considerate and more compassionate. I say I don't celebrate it merely out of lack of spoons, taste, however you may call energy now: I spend enough of it observing Christmas, New Year's, Easter, All Saints' Day and many birthdays.

But that's just me. I know what Pride represents for many people so I'm not here to hark on it or to discourage folks from observing it themselves. I just wanted to be honest. This piece for me, marks something of a declaration. That over the past few years, I've opened myself up to fully sharing that joy and happiness with those who experience it, whether it's a new relationship, a new identity, or even freedom from oppressive situations--all under zero pretenses; as well as being willing to defend my fellow human beings from discrimination and harmful ideologies and behaviors.

"You will know them by their fruit." - Matthew 7:20

It's been a long road from where I once was on the topic of pride and queer identity. Pride, as defined as "overconfidence in oneself, lack of humility, etc." is still significant for me, but I also am aware that this month is not about that. It's about cherishing all human beings, regardless of sexuality, race, identity, etc. It's a response against tyranny, against that desire for domination and control.

After all, everyone is made in the image of God. We are all precious in His sight and we are all meant to live in harmony and peace with one another.

I do not know everything, I might not get everything right—after all, I am only human— but that does not stop me from trying anyway.

If you have any questions or desire clarity about this, please feel free to send me an ask over here on my personal blog. I will not entertain questions on this one for organizational reasons, but I'd love to answer you :)

And as always: Please do not repost! Reblog only!

You know when you talk to older couples who, you know, have been in love for thirty or forty or fifty years, all right? It’s always the guy who says, “I knew.” I knew, right from the beginning. - Seeley Booth
